I am in the midst of writing my final IRB proposal/introduction and methods for my final thesis, and let me tell you. It blows.

Looking back, I wonder why the heck I have even majored in Psychology. I mean...WHY??? I picked it when I was 17 years old! I mean, in the grand scheme of things, it really isn't important what you major in when you are in undergrad, but I know I would be a bit more content if I weren't having to do this thesis and I were filling my head with poetry and literature instead.

C'est la vie.

Now that I no longer have any night classes, I get to enjoy the evenings. The sunset, the fall of darkness, and the most important thing...Jeopardy.

I am so addicted to this show.

Seriously.

6 pm on the local CBS affiliate and it will always be there because it always has been there. It is the kind of game show that will be immortal..kind of like the Price is Right, but with more brain teases and without the pimp and hoes. It is a weird rite of passage when you start getting the questions that the contestants get wrong.

On another note.

My hair looks and feels and smells FANTASTIC.

Everyone with curly brown hair should buy Aveda's "Be Curly." No, seriously...it makes the curls really defined and soft.

Happy Mardi Gras tomorrow tomorrow!

Isn't the planned Middle East peace conference/cease fire interesting?

Now if Condeleeza Rice would get started on those damn Megan Mulally M & M commercials...please make them stop. I surrender....cease fire?/? Anything???

As we all know, ValenDOOMSDAY is rapidly approching. As usual, in the line of the Bambino Curse, I have the ValenDOOMSDAY curse of not even having a dating partner on this curse'd day.

So, instead of laying low and being gloomy, I am putting up my list of tips from two years ago.

Man.

That dates me, huh!

Anyhoot, here ya go!

1) Wear black. Not only will you be screaming, "I'M SINGLE! LALALALA!" through your clothes, you will look thinner, which is always a plus.

2) Don't rent romantic comedies, they will break you down into a person who either drinks three bottles of wine or eats three pounds of Valentine M&M's. Or both. Which could get very, VERY ugly. Instead, watch The Real World on MTV. Because their relationships suck, and you will think that you are SOOO much better than them.

3) Look forward to all of the Annual After Valentine's Day Candy sale at your local shops. Most of it is chocolate, not cheap candies like "Smarties." (Halloween)

4) You know what else you can watch? "A Walk to Remember" or "Message in a Bottle." Because you see what happens when you fall in love. People die!

5) Send yourself flowers. People do it all the time...just think that you are getting them from your greatest admirer. Which could be true. There is nothing wrong with narcissm.

6) Read an STD pamphlet. Just think about what you WON'T be getting this year for Valentines.

And with that, I bid you all a fond farewell on this lovely Monday evening.
